Be a part of Pegasus Theatre as we celebrate 30 years of providing Dallas with comedy excellence!
At Pegasus Theatre, our mission is to make you laugh! And we’ve packed this year with some surprises. Check out these highlights of the 2016 season:
- We kick off the 2016 season with a world premiere of Kurt Kleinmann’s newest comedy-murder-mystery presented in Living Black & White™! It’s the first new Living Black &White show since 2010, and our entire team is thrilled to bring it to life for your viewing pleasure. What is Living Black & White, you may ask? It’s a technique developed at Pegasus Theatre which, through the use of trade-secret makeup, special lighting, meticulous costuming and set creation, combined with stylized acting, creates the illusion that the audience is watching—not just a play—but a 1930’s-40’s black-and-white movie brought to life on stage!
- Later this season, we present something very special: a second Living Black & White™ show! Yes, in 2016, Christmas comes in July, as Harry and friends battle a devious fiend in It’s Beginning to Look a Lot Like Murder!
- Back by popular demand, we bring to the stage two RadioVizion™ presentations of the ongoing adventures of Harry, Nigel, and Foster: The Frequency of Death! and A Trifle Dead! (the first Living Black & White show ever presented, back in April of 1986).
- What is RadioVizion™? It’s an alternative technique devised by Pegasus Theatre for the presentation of the Living Black & White™ series of Harry Hunsacker adventures. RadioVizion™ does not employ the trade-secret makeup but instead focuses on recreating the experience and glamour of being in a live radio studio of the 1930’s and 1940’s. Live sound effects, actors at period style live microphones, and costumes evocative of the era complete the effect.
- Rounding out the season, we return to our roots with another world premiere: The Coarse Actor Rises! Thirty years ago as a fledgling theatre company, we presented our very first production: The Coarse Acting Show, inspired by the book “The Art of Coarse Acting” by Michael Green. It was the beginning of a love affair with our audience and was soon followed by Curse of the Coarse Actors!, Attack of the Coarse Actors!, Louda, Fasta, Funnya!, and Even Louda, Fasta, Funnya! Sets fall down, actors misbehave, costumes and props refuse to cooperate, but the cast goes on, secure in the knowledge that the audience won’t notice a thing!
